I
have to say this is one of the best movies i have seen this year, i was
not expecting it to be that good. There's twist after twist, and when
you think there is no more, there will be. Great performances and ever
better plot. I highly recommend this movie to all ages.
New idea for a movie, and they succeeded it at it greatly. It will have you thinking every time you see a magician on TV!
i had to give this movie a 10/10, and i only have 4 movies that i would rate that way in my life time. If there is anything you do this year, make it a trip to watch this movie!
